tails animal welfare
Tails Animal Welfare is Liverpool’s newest non-profit animal rescue. We are a foster based rescue, supporting the needs of the communities in the Liverpool City Region. Our mission is to rescue, support and educate. The rescue was established early 2023 due to the increasing demand for rescue spaces and reduced support from large organisations for community neutering and TNR programmes.
All our costs are currently covered via fundraising and donations, along with the adoption fee which contributes to neutering, chip, flea worm treatments and vaccination costs.
Our ambition is to eventually have premises where we can help more animals in need, a forever home for those that may not be suitable for adoption and an educational community space."
